Mob Grip just dropped a new installment of their “Grip it and Rip it” series with one of Oregon's most low-key hungry up-and-comers, Aiden Caruth. The dude makes Eugene Skatepark look like a brand new playground, unlocking lines in a way that feels fresh, creative, and purely original. This dude is simply fun to watch! Take a look:
This might just be a classic park edit, but it's actually much more than that. Aiden doesn’t take the common route—he finds the weird stuff, the fun stuff, the little nooks and crannies, and somehow pieces it all together with effortless style. Super refreshing, to say the least.
The edit itself is super rad too. We get a soulful little reggae track that sets the tone perfectly in the beginning, then the second half speeds things up with a little more energy, and Aiden keeps right up. Perfect.
Mob always does a solid job with these “Grip it and Rip it” edits, if you as me, but this one really stood out. It felt personal, local, and full of character. Aiden rips! In fact, I have one foot out the door as we speak.
Why Choose MOB Grip?
• The Grippiest - Filtered silicon carbide grip
• Cuts Clean, Stays Rough - Trims clean & long lasting
• No Bubbles, No Troubles - Perforated for quick deck set up

Hats off to Aiden for ripping through Eugene in the raddest way and giving us something a little different to chew on. Keep charging, duder! We see you.

Keenan Allen's return to Bears seems possible now
Following the selections of tight end Colston Loveland in the first round and wide receiver Luther Buden III in the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft, it seemed that the idea of Keenan Allen’s return to the Chicago Bears for the upcoming season was dead. Last year, the Bears traded a fourth-round pick to the Los Angeles Chargers for Allen to come to Chicago on the final season of his contract. Allen said he planned to choose between the Bears and a team in Los Angeles during free agency this offseason. The Bears are looking for a wide receiver No team has signed the veteran receiver. Allen is coming off a season where he recorded 70 receptions for 744 yards and seven touchdowns. The Bears signaled they’re not done looking for wide receiver help before training camp practice begins on Wednesday. On Monday, reports surfaced that Chicago visited with former Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver DJ Chark. Chark met with the Bears NFL.com's Christian Gonzales suggested that Chark could be available for the Chargers after Mike Williams announced his retirement from the league last week. “There is an opening for Chark to pursue a possible reunion with the Chargers after veteran wide receiver Mike Williams informed the team this week that he is retiring from the NFL," wrote Gonzales. “Only time will tell if Chark gets a call from the Bolts or another team in search of a crafty veteran wideout. If he does, Chark says he’s still staying in shape.” Allen’s name immediately came up as an option for the Chargers when Williams’ announcement became public. If the Chargers decide to give quarterback Justin Herbert a familiar pass catcher by signing Chark, it would make sense for Allen to be in the mix to join the Bears in 2025. After all, the Bears let the league and Allen’s agent know they’re looking for a veteran receiver.
Maple Leafs get unfortunate news about acquiring Flames veteran
The Toronto Maple Leafs continue to explore ways to upgrade the roster following Mitch Marner's departure in free agency. The Leafs front office has been trying to fill in the gaps along the roster, and they have been searching on the trade front. One name that has been heavily connected to the Maple Leafs in recent weeks is Calgary Flames star Nazem Kadri. Kadri could replace Marner very well in the lineup, but it seems that a deal could be complicated to complete. According to NHL insider Nick Kypreos of SportsNet, Toronto has tried to land Kadri multiple times this summer, only to be rebuffed each time. Kypreos believes that a deal involving Kadri returning to the Maple Leafs could be unlikely at this point in the summer. Last season, Kadri posted 35 goals and 32 assists for the Flames. His presence has been steady on the ice for years, and Calgary could probably get a lot on the trade market for him. The Maple Leafs will likely continue to explore ways to pry Kadri from the Flames. But Calgary likely won't trade him unless it receives an offer that it deems too good to be true. But Kadri is the leader of this team, and he was the best player for them last season. Toronto doesn't have a lot of tradable assets to work with, which could be what is holding things up between the two sides. The veteran could give Toronto a nice boost, but unless the Maple Leafs up the offer, he isn't returning to town.
Packers can't rush the Elgton Jenkins call and the reason why reveals deeper concerns heading into the 2025 season
The Green Bay Packers gave Zach Tom a four-year, $88 million contract extension. Now, there are three high-priced offensive linemen on the roster, with Tom joining a group with left guard Aaron Banks and center Elgton Jenkins. But that fact creates some uncertainty for the future, and general manager Brian Gutekunst will have some tough calls to make over the next eight months. Jenkins is moving from left guard to center, but first he wants a contract adjustment to have more guarantees. But with two years left on his deal, the Packers don't seem inclined to pull the trigger. ESPN's Rob Demovsky reported that the Packers want to wait and see if Jenkins will play well at center before maybe considering a new deal during the regular season. The motivation of the forced patience is because the Packers have difficult decisions ahead, and it goes beyond Jenkins individual performance. Spending limit Theoretically, it's viable to pay four high-priced offensive linemen at the same time. But in practicality, it's a questionable call. First, because the Packers have invested two high draft picks, with Jordan Morgan and Anthony Belton, to avoid this type of scenario. Second, because overinvesting in one spot affects the rest of the roster. The follow-up question is that left tackle Rasheed Walker and right guard Sean Rhyan are entering the final year of their rookie deals, and the Packers have to answer if they want to keep one of them. Rhyan is cheaper, but also easier to replace at a less valuable position. With Walker, the situation gets more complicated. He's projected to get something between $14 million and $16.5 million on yearly average. So if the Packers want to keep him, and if they can't pay more than three veteran offensive linemen, Elgton Jenkins would probably have to go. What will define the call The Packers are entering training camp with more questions than answers, and that's fine. Practices and preseason games will ultimately determine what will happen. Jordan Morgan will likely compete for the left tackle spot, like he did during the offseason program, and rookie Anthony Belton is projected as a swing tackle with the twos. Can they play tackle and beat out Rasheed Walker? Can one of them move to right guard? With these answers on the field, the contract decisions will be easier. But at the moment, the Packers need the flexibility with Elgton Jenkins, because the team needs answers it doesn't have right now.
Report: Two MLB All-Star trade candidates are off the market
The number of available MLB stars on the trade market appears to be dwindling. Atlanta Braves catcher Sean Murphy will not be available for trade ahead of the July 31 deadline, Buster Olney of ESPN reported on Tuesday. Additionally, Cleveland Guardians outfielder Steven Kwan is unlikely to be moved as well, Olney added. The 30-year-old Murphy, an All-Star in 2023, is batting .240 with 16 home runs and 38 RBI this season for the Braves. Meanwhile, the 27-year-old Kwan is batting .288 with six home runs, 32 RBI and 11 stolen bases for the Guardians — numbers that were good enough for Kwan to make his second career All-Star appearance this year. A common thread for both players is that their respective teams have underperformed in 2025. The Braves are a miserable 44-55, and the Guardians are only slightly better at 49-50. Those underachieving records have given rise to trade speculation surrounding both teams. However, both Murphy and Kwan are under contract for multiple more years at very reasonable salaries. Murphy is set to make $15 million in each of the next three seasons (with the Braves holding a $15 million team option on him in 2029 as well). As for Kwan, he still has two more years left of arbitration eligibility before potentially becoming a free agent after the 2027 season. There could still be a lot of movement ahead of this year’s trade deadline, particularly with some marquee teams looking to buy. But those teams will probably be out of luck if they are eyeing a potential move for Murphy or Kwan before July 31.
